Its not-so-quiet countdown/clicking and jarring ring will annoy folks in libraries, coffee shops, or cubicle communities.

Unless you have an office with a door and walls with soundproofing or work from home by yourself, this timer will cause problems with neighbors. In my opinion, the only drawback of the Pomodoro technique is the kitchen timer. Productivity requiring little focus of silly things that you are putting off for later (quick emails, etc.). Productivity requiring extended focus (writing papers, etc.), and 2. I don’t have this response counting Pomodoros. For me, watching the clock causes a mild, counterproductive agitation. As the day goes on and you rack up Pomodoros, you have fewer distracting thoughts and more productive time. With this technique, you stop counting minutes and hours and instead focus on bite-sized Pomodoros. Only have an hour of time to work on one day? Do two Pomodoros.

Set the timer for one Pomodoro (25 min).

Close your email, put your phone on silent, and get away from all distractions.

On the top, write “Pomodoros:”, a line down write “To do:” Stick the note to the right side of your desk.

Pick up a kitchen timer (like the ones crafted to resemble a tomato, or pomodoro in Italian).

It helps maximize productivity and focus. It’s a simple timer for use with the Pomodoro technique. I have installed and used it extensively for the past year.
